*In No. 181 of "Rus'" from August 20(7) was published the manifesto of August 19(6) on the State Duma, the regulations on the State Duma, and the schedule of the number of members of the State Duma by gubernias, regions, and cities. From this Lenin takes all the data for his numerical calculations concerning electors. In the same issue of "Rus'" was printed an unsigned article "On the New Path." Lenin's excerpts have in view the following two paragraphs of this article: a) "We are ready to say that such a boycott would be above all a boycott against the peasants and against ourselves. Russia certainly will not share the hastily expressed opinion of the new Moscow general-governor Durnovo that the constructive work is already finished and there is really nothing more to discuss"; and b) "...we are left only to repeat the very weighty arguments of the 'Herald of Europe,' that awareness of the imperfections of the electoral system is compatible with work in a representative assembly, elected on the basis of this system. Indeed, one can find plenty of proof of this in Western European history. The journal aptly recalls how under Louis-Philippe Garnier-Pagès the elder and Ledru-Rollet, convinced adherents of universal suffrage, sat, and with great benefit, in the chamber, created from large taxpayers."
